bored like me (demo) Song Lyrics

bored like me (demo) by Dodie

Please listen closely
I think you think you know what I want, but you don’t
To want to know me
Is to ask me to ask you to tell, but you won’t
And so we sit here and talk in circles
Pointed politeness till we turn purple
Oh, really can we cut it all and break the walls
And talk like we’ve been married forty years?

And so we dance, dear
Nose to nose but wanting to be mouth to mouth
Give it a chance, dear
Break the ice if there’s ice or at least ask me how
Because we sit here, both with this knowing
There’s something under forever growing
Oh, really can we cut it all and break the walls
And not talk like we’re married fifty years?

I know you’re bored like me

So tell me kindly
I wonder if you love like I love loving you
I’m going in blindly
So make the risk worth the risk like I want you to do

Just scr*p the questions
Take off the masks
Let the curtain fall and lead me to the dark
Oh, darling are you there? Say the word
I will not use this mouth for chatter any more

Oh, I know you’re bored like me
